I keep on coming back to the irrefutable fact that the people in New Zealand that don't want to address the impact of colonisation and argue "it's in the past, the current generation are not responsible for that" continue to enjoy benefits that flowed directly from that colonisation.

Uncontrolled wildfires in Aotearoa and it's not even REMOTELY summer yet.

We will define what a woman is: anyone who is fed up with ppl trying to define a woman. A woman is someone who is fed up w/the current govt going back on equal pay. A woman is someone who sees a 🚩 when the anti-choice PM puts an anti-choice politician as Minister of Health #nzpol #abortion #equalpay

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Are RNZ's Indian journalists going to talk about the electoral fraud in Papatoetoe or do they continue to do model minority, Hindutva platforming stories? Like how Diwali was 'diverse'?

Tend's Chief Medical Officer Graham Denyer is not a GP. Not sure about Green Cross CMO.
Continuity of care is critical but sometimes it is hard to see the same GP. Therefore how we write our notes, patient classifications and long term meds is critical.

The High Commission of India is hosting the first Hindu women conference today, 20 September 2025. This should worry all. Not just Indians in Aotearoa but everyone.

...homes are destroyed.
That is why when the real change happens, like Krishna, she will be born in a dark prison and be smuggled out, surviving the oppression. Inshallah she is already out there.

Tbh that Shraddha video floating around is boring as. Nothing cutting edge, nil critical thinking. Aimed at the 'liberal' Indian taking bits and pieces from activists and spun into some sort of analysis. An extraction from those who have been jailed, face abuse, whose livelihoods and...

Parmjeet Parmar's single point agenda is racism against Māori and minorities.
That's it.
As if she is being instructed from and funded by New Delhi to create turmoil by bullying and gaslighting because that's when fascists can be loud and violent.

Ozzy Osbourne & the stray cat
Studied this in the Reality TV paper taught by Misha Kavka as part of my M.A. in film, television and media studies. 2002 or 2003. University of Auckland.
One classmate dude, who loved Black Sabbath, disliked Sharon and thought Ozzy had sold out.
This was MTV.

Luxon snaps back at 'frickin' Chris Hipkins over National's FamilyBoost 'flop'
Watch: The Prime Minister has challenged Labour to front up with its own policy, as he comes under pressure over FamilyBoost numbers.
Ah. Hilarious.
A bunch of incompetent, cosplaying nimbnuts who think austerity, law and order, freezing council rates and more land grabs etc will progress Aotearoa.
But then you have Mr National Lite Hipkins as the alternative.
